project:: talk + no action = bull shit

As i progress with my talk + no action = bull shit project. i have become very aware thats its not just where you get your fabrics from or how long you keep the garment etc. but the contruction of the whole process. i am currently drawing up patterns for my final designs and have already used a lot of pattern paper, and im not even close to my final pattern. Therefore i have come up with a plan!

i plan to recyle all of the wasted pattern paper i have used. this way i can ashore that my project has been focused on less waiste through out. Making paper at home...

Scrap Bows

 

 

Here are just a few of the bows i have made from scrap material. I couldn't believe the amount of fabric scraps people (including myself) throws out. Therefore i am starting a project where i will reduce the waste of my designs. This is just the start of the project. which has been very popular so far. Bows have been selling for £5+ I'm going to push this further. hoping to change the attitude to 'eco-fashion' by showing that sustainable design can be fashionable.
